Correct response: Who is Shere Khan?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Shere Khan is the tiger antagonist of Rudyard Kipling’s 1894 work The Jungle Book. While he considers himself king of the jungle, most of the other animals do not look up to him. After a failed attempt to hunt humans, he makes attempts to hunt Mowgli.
In a Jeopardy! context, Shere Khan came up in a roundabout way during last winter’s All-Star Games; the chapter in The Jungle Book that introduces him is called “Tiger, Tiger”.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $440 has been raised.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
